This is an exquisite 1920s Kazak rug, meticulously hand-knotted in a village in the Southwest Caucasus, likely by a skilled Armenian woman. This tribal rug piece showcases an all-over tribal pattern set against a rich espresso brown backdrop, accentuated by vibrant pops of hot coral, tangerine, and saturated powder blue.
With a sturdy and stout handle and luxurious old world wool, this rug is in impeccable condition, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and well kept state. Woven on a horizontal nomadic loom using the Ghiordes knot technique, it features wool pile knots on a wool foundation of warps and wefts with webbed/braided ends.
The term "Kazak" derives from "rough-rider," describing a nomadic and restless people, and this antique Caucasian rug embodies that spirit flawlessly. Despite its age, it remains in superb condition, making it an absolute stunner and a timeless addition to any space.
Exact size: 3'7 x 6'
